Synopsis
An exquisite facsimile edition of a classic wartime book on growing fruit and vegetables. Its warm, personable writing style makes it a joy to read, but it's also very informative and relevant for todays gardeners., In 1940 Doreen Wallace, prolific novelist, academic, social campaigner and farmer, wrote a book for Batsford on vegetable growing, as part of the publisher's iconic Home Front Handbook series. With its chatty, readable writing style and its beautiful Brian Cook cover, the book became a wartime classic, invaluable for everyone growing fruit and vegetables at home to help the war effort. This reissue of that important book retains all the appeal of the original. As well as being a great read, it contains a wealth of information that is still useful for vegetable gardeners today. It tells you what fruit and vegetables to grow and when, how and why, how to keep down weeds and pests, explores 'The Vexed Question of Small Fruit', gives tips on arrangement and rotation of crops, and even touches on the subject of keeping hens and pigs in your garden. Full of sensible practical advice mixed with whimsical musings and a great deal of charm, this book would make a perfect gift for any gardener., In 1940, Doreen Wallace--novelist, social campaigner, and farmer--wrote How to Grow Food as part of Batsford's iconic Home Front Handbook series.

Full of practical advice and whimsical musings, this charming facsimile edition dispenses wisdom on everything from growing fruits and vegetables to keeping hens and pigs., Facsimile of a wartime book on growing your own vegetables, written by a popular novelist of the time.

    There was an issue with package damage, obviously due to mishandling by the delivery people, however the seller responded very quickly and offered to reship the other item that was missing from the damaged package. Very easy to work with and the replacement arrived in a timely manner. Both books were in excellent condition as listed. This was a quality interaction and an excellent value for the items I received. Highly recommend!
